i think Mr. Barbour has some ideas along those lines. "flat namespaces" is perhaps an audio bite about it but is probably more antagonistically misleading to most people than helpful. i haven't found a good url to post, and it ends up also being related to his thoughts on global vs. local state. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6970198 _______________________________________________ bitc-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.coyotos.org/mailman/listinfo/bitc-dev
